However, I got better because I know how to do small talk as well as other aspects of communication.<br /><br />Everyone has our own safe and fear zones. Some safe zones are huge. Some safe zones are tiny. That said, life experiences can alter the sizes of the safe and fear zones all the time, as it is a dynamic process. Naturally, a positive experience expands your safe zone, and a negative experience expands your fear zone. Socially, I think it&#39;s important for individuals with autism to expand their safe zones- a snail&#39;s pace is OK too if they are constantly moving forward. After all, even a snail will travel quite a ways over a one year period.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977097284075812594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992023935961455603.post-67663634608905654862010-12-09T09:56:06.033-06:002010-12-09T09:56:06.033-06:00At Anime/Manga Conventions or meetings (my Kansas)...At Anime/Manga Conventions or meetings (my Kansas) I have almost no problems with this. This is also the reason why most of my friends are anime/manga fans too. But in daily life I face the exact same problems.<br />I truly wish I could tell things like you do Aaron. It&#39;d make me able to explain myself so much better to people...Isshanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992023935961455603.post-24263846094686867142010-12-09T04:37:33.828-06:002010-12-09T04:37:33.828-06:00Insightful and well-spoken, thank you!Insightful and well-spoken, thank you!Korrin Hume Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093414281250249453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7992023935961455603.post-87767829568608952042010-12-08T23:58:26.758-06:002010-12-08T23:58:26.758-06:00It really depends on the mood I am in and where I ...It really depends on the mood I am in and where I am. Seeing as how Pediatric Bi Polar is associated with Aspergers Syndrome, our mood changes occasionally. <br /><br />I use comedy to cope with people. If somebody has something to say, I of course come off as rude, but I try to make it as funny as possible so it&#39;s taken as a joke. <br /><br />I have no problem being introduced to people. But introducing myself to them (unless absolutely necessary) is close to impossible for me.Cool Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13746735589363971094noreply@blogger.com
